The factories were huge by Earth standards.
Each set of assembly lines was bigger than the combined Boston-Washington DC area, or NewYork if it was abutted to Los Angeles and the two combined.
The vast factories went to work, taking a full day to bring up to full speed and then the processing took over a week.
When they were done an Earth very similar to Ranma's, a world where a minor variant of the Sailor Senshi stood, had been converted.
On thousands of timelines and worlds, the new merchandise was displayed, even as they were turned back to their original environment until sales were made. Slavegirls of every hue and color, and at reasonable prices.
As the merchandise was bought, the world's population slowly emptied. When an area was cleared it could be stripped of everything and rebuilt into vast pleasure parks and pristine landscapes. Then the world itself could be sold, with a number of maintance slaves included in the bargain.
Waste not, want not.
Some worlds fought more than others. Some went down with a tired whimper. Eventually all were conquered though.
On the Homeworld, Blue read the report of a minor overseer named Quisling and raised three eyebrows and a sensory tendril. If this was true, this could be the greatest find since that Genesplicer ship had fallen into their hands.
Blue flagged the find as being important enough for the eyes of his own superiors. Zandru's Hell, it was promising enough that it could be reason for a vacation.
The entire process of creating aesthetically pleasing humanoid and near-humanoid pleasure slaves could be cut down by half. Blue sent a request for four Aleph-class sorcerers and an Alchemical Research Team to be assembled.
Hmmm. Quisling owed a life-debt to this Ma Saotome Ran. That made things a little more difficult as typical research might dissolve the subject's DNA. Ah, his father turned into a panda through the same curse and a rival turned into a pig. Studying all three would allow them to unlock the magical signatures and essences involved. Once the various influences were understood, their programmers could work out the details.
How to reward this Ma Saotome Ran? Well, worry about that after the research team reported.
